AS PART OF POETS FOR LIVING WATERS WE CELEBRATED IN PHILADELPHIA WITH A SPECIAL LORINE NIEDECKER URCHIN READING ON THE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BRIDGE. THIS BRIDGE CONNECTS PHILADELPHIA TO CAMDEN, CROSSING THE DELWARE RIVER. WE READ NIEDECKER'S POEMS AT THE CENTER OF THE BRIDGE WHERE THE CURRENT BELOW US WAS STRONGEST, PULLING EVERYTHING OUT TO THE OCEAN.Poets reading in photo below:
